Matthew J Dudley

A little over a year ago I hired Mr. Dudley as my attorney for a divorce and custody battle. With no idea what I was getting myself into, and feeling in the dark over a situation I felt I had little to no control over. With that being said Matthew swept me up and kept me going during the hardest time... of my life. If you are looking for someone to console you or make you feel better, this is not your guy. He is very straight to the point and blunt but man does he get the job done. He was always available when I needed, always got back to me in a timely fashion and was very organized. I would give me a 100 star rating out of 5. If you want the best you will get the best with Mr. Dudley.

I was recommended by my former attorney who suggested Matthew. Due to the fact she was not a trail attorney. My soon to be ex husband is not at all a compromising type of person. When I met with Matthew I knew right off the bat that he would be one of my blessings. When we spoke I truly appreciate...d the fact that he is who he is. He is straight forward and tells you like it is. Does not sugar coat anything. You are fully prepared on everything. He speaks from experience and does not just tell you what you want to hear to make it all better. My case went to a special trial. Unfortunately we were given trial dates many times, but at no fault to Matthew they were cancelled many times by the court. I have been trying to get a divorce since 2015 and now awaiting the Judges ruling. My case involved a minor child whom is a teenager. No matter what the out come of my case. He did everything I wanted and then some. He amazed me in court. He speaks direct question after question. He is there to win your case. He doesn't go on and on about non sense issues on the stand just to hear him self talk. He put me to easy and helped me understand how the entire process works. I could go on and on about how great he is. I will say that if you need an attorney to get it done and done the right way the first time around Matthew Dudley is your guy. I have the nothing, but respect for Mr Dudley. Thank you for always being up front and honest with me. I did see some reviews have stated Matthew as being rude. I don't consider an Attorney rude when he is just telling you like it is straight and to the point. So I say this, people before you write your reviews think to yourself. Did He do everything he could with the facts that were given to him. Take a step outside and look in with different eyes. Just because everything thing didn't go your way does not make him a bad attorney. He nor any attorney can predict the out come of any case. No attorney likes losing a case. Unfortunately having to go to any attorney for family law is awful and painful. I don't wish having to go though this on my worse enemy. But if you ever find yourself in need of one Mr Dudley should be yours. Thank you Matthew! P.S. He does have a great sense of humor.

I was referred to Matthew Dudley by numerous people, so I knew he had to be one of the best lawyers in town. Everyone that I talked to said that he really cares for children, and that he takes into consideration the emotional feelings that come with a divorce case. With my case, my ex lived in Canada..., and I had two children that I wanted full custody of. Matthew took my case and said he would fight for what I wanted to get out of the case; my two children and a fair, equal split of our properties and money. Matthew did exactly that and I was very happy with the outcome of my case. Mr. Dudley takes time out of his weekend to make sure you know he is there for you. If you ever need to contact him you have his personal phone number, and if he doesn't answer he calls you right back no matter what time or day. Matthew is an incredible lawyer and I would refer him to anyone. If you are looking for a lawyer that is tough and will fight for everything that you want out of your case then Matthew is excellent for the job.

Hello, Mr. Dudley was recommended to me by a friend and I have never once regretted my decision to hire him on 01.05.2015 and the Divorce was finalized on 03.17.2016. One of the things that I really liked about him was the fact that I could get a hold of him at the oddest times. He does not wo...rk your typical 9 to 5 job. When I first talked with him about my divorce, I had left a voice mail and he called me back on a SUNDAY!!! how awesome is that. Mr. Dudley was/is straight forward, upfront and honest. I was charged a flat fee plus filing fee for the Divorce petition and was charged nothing extra. Whereas, my ex was charged by the hour. He did state that if we had to go to court that there would be extra fees involved for that. While this was emotional for me, Mr. Dudley remained unemotional and was my voice of reason. He has quite the dry sense of humor which I absolutely loved and dearly needed on occasion; (If you are looking for a lawyer that will commiserate and be emotional with you - this is NOT the lawyer for you.) If you are looking for a lawyer that will go to bat for you as long as you are honest upfront and straight forward with him, this is the Lawyer for you. In my process of getting divorced I ran into a few people here and there that also used Mr. Dudley and where very very satisfied with him and would also recommend him. Thank you Matthew!!!

I had the good fortune of being referred to Matthew over three years ago, just as I was leaving an abusive marriage, and without even knowing it, I had unwittingly hired the BEST divorce lawyer in Spokane. Without his help, I have no doubt that I would have not been able to get away, gain temporary, ...and eventually be granted, final primary care of my children. He is a brilliant lawyer. A bit eccentric with a messy office, but that's the mark of genius. He aggressively represents his clients and is extremely protective of their best interests. He wins. In fact, I don't think I lost a single meaningful hearing. But he also won't allow you engage in futile legal pursuits. Shockingly, he is as affordable as he is aggressive. My ex spent eight times the amount I spent on his own aggressive, high-priced lawyer and ended up with less than what I had offered in the beginning. Matthew may be known for being a bulldog, but he's not a leach like some of his Spokane counterparts. He is not always nice. In fact, he's blunt, confronting, and will tell you hard truths about yourself. Get. Over. It. Getting a divorce is not about the customer service or bedside manner. It is the fight of your life, and he is hands down the best coach to have in your corner.
